I live in a low rain area, but all of my neighbors that have built these systems have used 40k gallon tanks. They stay full most of the year with little problem.

I asked AI "how much annual rainfall do you need to keep a 40k water collection unit full"

To determine the exact annual rainfall needed, you must multiply your roof catchment area (in square feet) by a conversion factor of 0.623. For example, a 2,000 square-foot roof yields about 1,246 gallons for every inch of rain, requiring about 32 inches of annual rain to collect 40,000 gallons.

1,500 sq foot roof - 43"
2,500 sq foot roof - 26"

Phoenix averages about 7.5" per year. People use more water than the climate provides in that area. Not all areas are the same, so what works in Bermuda or Texas, will not work in Phoenix.

Wait. You never saw a XC event at Illinois? What a miss! Almost as exciting as watching grown men flop for 90 minutes in a 0-0 tie heading into OT.

You know, you mock soccer, however I have seen 13 World Cup games and an average of 4.0 goals per game. None of the 13 were 0-0. You are missing out!

As for XC, nothing against it. My miss at U of I was not seeing the athlete during my time who would go on to achieve the greatest professional success - world number 2 in golf Steve Stricker.

I did see Dominick Minicucci compete - two time US Olympian

They both suck and the Democrats have embraced both socialism and communism. Your party.

Let alone, the DSA does not believe in private property or free enterprise. That’s not even socialism. That’s communism. That goofball probably still denies Antifa is the brown shirts for the DSA. It was the well to do kids who didn’t work that embraced the left in Russia. It was the leftist moonbats in Iran (and Carter’s ineptness) that brought about the Iranian Revolution. Yeah. DSA isn’t communist. LOL. #NBTE

Anyone of you that believes that Socialism is the same as Communism is embarrassingly ignorant. Anyone of you that equates a Social Democrat or Democratic Socialist with a Communist is not informed or knowledgeable enough to hold a conversation on politics. I take it that you are merely repeating the ignoramous Trump.

We know where this is headed, unlike Dems that need to be clubbed over the head with something before they become aware.

Dems said that just wanted marriage equality too. Now they support cross-dressing men in women's prisons, children being castrated, etc.

It will not take long for full blown communism to be supported by Democrats.
